Rainbow Clouds at Sunset
Well, guys, I made some photos last week! I've just been doing lots of artsy digital collages the past couple of months, and printing some for an upcoming local art exhibit.
I bought some Lightroom presets and used one on this and then I used Aquarella (watercolor plugin) by jixipix on the image.
I have things to do right now so I'll be back later to look at your creations and comment.

Awesome colors in your rainbow-colored sky! The foreground of the black silhouetted trees gives this a good grounding for those colors fly up and dazzle you!
The colors in the sky are wonderful, especially in contrast to the dark trees. I took a look at this stretched horizontally and liked it better that way. Maybe because of the verticals???
You certainly produce some good effects using JixiPix.
Thanks Nancy!

I opted for a golden rectangle, the length of which is about 1.6 times the height. (I have a helpful divine proportions app that eliminates the need for my doing the math.) It really doesn't matter if it's transformed horizontally or vertically as long as the final length:width ratio is the same. If it's done sideways, the stretching is only about 21% for your image, so the trees still look just fine. (At least I think so.)
Hi, Judy, I like your OP but I think I like Dennis' post a little better. (I don't really understand what he did but I like it) Gorgeous colors!

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I think your transformation looks good. Thanks for taking the time to do it. I wanted to see the original in Lightroom to see if I had cropped it and I did crop a very small amount off of the sides. The Olympus four-thirds sensor is 4:3 proportion so it is not as wide as other cameras that are 3:2. Sometimes this is a good thing, depending on the scene.

Thanks Cheryl! I like his version too.

I do like the proportions of Dennis' posting. It creates a larger, even more dramatic sky.
